What it delivers
The Camplux WA528 150,000 BTU Natural Gas Outdoor Tankless Water Heater is an outdoor gas tankless with a 150,000 BTU/h burner and a stated maximum flow of 5.3 GPM.
Worked out from its input, it delivers roughly 5.1 GPM when the water only has to rise 45°F, and 3.3 GPM at a 70°F winter rise: 2 showers at 2 GPM in summer, 1 shower at 2 GPM in winter. Run your house through the planner.
The line must deliver about 145 cubic feet of natural gas an hour or about 1.6 gallons of propane an hour when it fires flat out. The requirement calculator adds it up; a licensed fitter confirms the pipe.
Outdoor units vent straight out of the cabinet, which saves the vent run and the wall penetration; plan for freeze protection and a pipe cover where winters bite.
The listing describes its venting as: Outdoor Installation.
Other listed details: material: Stainless Steel; model: WA528; warranty: 1 Year Warranty.
The listing gives dimensions of 16.93 in (W) x 28.35 in (H) and a weight of 35.3 lb.
Warranty, per the listing: 1 Year Warranty.
